Try mineral oil for a lube, least irritating thing you can use other then actual AI lube

Heck just wait for her to take a crap, get you a hand full of it and use it for lube. Works good except when they're on a low quality diet and have stack up manure.

hand lotion worked good..nothin but an empty hole in there..she shouldve ben over 200 days...had to git in there cuz she hasnt shown any indicators..so on the trlr she goes...good enough..ill git 2 hiefers for the price this one will bring..at 1300 and about 60/lb...ill do ok i think

DB if you take her to the sale barn have them age and palpate her as well...shouldn't cost you but a couple of bucks and IF by chance she's bred she'll sell better.

10-4..ill see if thats an option..i been feeding her too long already..probly gonna sell to the guy down the street to eat

Around here right now she would sell better if she is open, slaughter buyers like to see them preg open, and will give more for them.
